Sapphire

Name: Sapphire
Approximate age: 3 years
True to her name, Sapphire is a jewel of a cat. She inherited her mother's beautiful tortoiseshell coat, hence her nickname "Tortie". Early on in life, she was rescued from the outdoors and has since luxuriated in the security and comfort of domestic life.

During her time in foster care, Tortie has enjoyed the company of other foster felines. Her first experiences were with two successive and very handsome four-year-old males, with whom she became quite smitten. Following their adoption, she was introduced to two very young kittens who had been prematurely separated from their mum. Rising to the occasion, Tortie enthusiastically accepted the role of substitute mother, playmate and role model for her new friends.

Tortie is a beautiful, gentle and sensitive cat. Although she is shy and timid with visitors and strangers, she is relaxed, comfortable and affectionate with her caregiver. One of her favourite things is to sit on a windowsill in the early morning, watching the sunrise and listening to all the sounds relating to the beginning of the day. She is in good health and playful.

Tortie will be a good match for an experienced and understanding person. She will probably do best in a relatively quiet household (i.e. without young children).
